+// The game script responsible for handling document scrolling in the computer
+// interface uses a spin loop to wait for 10 ticks every time the document
+// scrolls. This makes scrolling janky and makes the mouse appear
+// non-responsive. Eliminating the delay entirely makes scrolling with the arrow
+// buttons a little too quick; a delay of 3 ticks is an OK middle-ground between
+// allowing mostly fluid motion with mouse dragging and reasonably paced
+// scrolling holding down the arrows. Preferably, ScrollbarArrow::handleEvent or
+// ScrollbarArrow::action would only send cues once every N ticks whilst being
+// held down, but unfortunately the game was not programmed to do this.
